The Eye of the Storm: A Hurricane's Tale

A powerful and evocative picture book that tells the story of a hurricane from the perspective of a young boy who learns to face his fears and find courage in the eye of the storm. The book uses vivid illustrations and a poignant text to capture the intensity and beauty of the natural world, and the resilience of the human spirit. A gorgeously-illustrated picture book about the power of community from Caldecott-Honoree John Rocco. That night the wind roars and rumbles, like the sound of a thousand waves pounding the shoreline. A young boy’s favorite place in the world is the old, splintery neighborhood dock. At this dock, the boy can swim, fish, or watch minnows dart between the rocks. But a hurricane is coming, and its violent winds and rain carry with it anything that can float.
